8pm: First off let's get warm with Janet Jackson clad in brown singing a medley of her hot hits like 'Control,' 'Miss You Much and 'If'. She's definitely adding a funky touch to show. Great opener if you ask us, Ms. Jackson still has it going on. One comment to the crowd tho, can you act a bit more excited? Hagan ruido!
8:08pm: Paula Abdul is looking decent for once! She takes the stage to present the Favorite Pop/Rock band duo or group.It goes to the Black Eyed Peas... We're surprised pop and rock are in the same category, on the bright side Fergie is also looking great tonight.
8:15pm Jason Dean and the beautiful Kristen Bell present the Country Band/Duo/Group award to the Rascal Flatts. They have won it four years in a row! Amazing.
8:16pm: Cue Ashlee Simpson's man Pete Wentz who introduces rocker Daughtry to the stage. His mellow performance isn't necesarily too exciting, but we dig his good vibes.
8:20pm: SHAKIRA! The Colombian powerhouse takes the stage to perform 'Give It Up To Me' with a slew of step dancers, one of whom slaps her butt as she performs. Why Shakira? Why are you becoming like every other leaotard-wearing pop star. We can't help but miss that little lady who caused so much commotion with her magic hips. This on the other hand is underwhelming... maybe we can blame those pin-thin heels for her lack of energy. Plus where was Lil Wayne?
8:29pm: Sofia Vergara gets Latina-crazy to introduce Aussie country star Keith Urban, who sings his hit 'Kiss a Girl,' not to be confused with Katy Perry's 'I Kissed a Girl'.
8:33pm: Reba McEntire presents her 'good buddy' Kelly Clarkson who seems to be one of the few performers who's actually singing live so kudos to Kelly for a beautiful performance of 'Already Gone.'
8:42pm: Snoop Dogg and Joe Perry make a lame joke about getting high and introduce the Female Pop/Rock award which goes to cutie Taylor Swift.
8:44pm: Alex Rodriguez introduces Alicia Keys and Jay-Z and gets booed! Seriously what was he doing there, we know the Yankees won. But seriously... Anyway, it's nice to hear ' Empire State of Mind' live again, and seeing Mary J. Blige and Neyo groovin' to it.
8:50pm: Christian Slater presents alternative rock artist award which Green Day takes home. This is so freakin' high school, you know... when we used to listen to their album Dookie all night?
8:58pm: Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson --about to have a wardrobe malfunction in a daring metallic dress-- present the Black Eye Peas. Are we the only people in America not obsessed with the BEP? Fergie keeps up the no pants trend. The BEP also appear to be actually singing tho, gotta respect that!
9:06pm: Michael Jackson wins the Soul/R&B award for the 52nd time and his bro Jermaine Jackson accepts it in the King of Pop's behalf.
9:13pm: Keith Urban takes the Country Male artist award and forgets to kiss wifey Nicole Kidman at first but then gets back to her and thanks her and their daughter during the speech.
9:15pm: Beyonce wins the Soul/R&B award but she's not there boooooo!
9:16pm: Rihanna gets futuristic on her first performance after the nightmare with Chris Brown! We're really digging her outfit. Very Lilu from The Fifth Element. Riri just shot lasers from her shoulders y'all!!!
9:25pm: Rascal Flatts have a bit of a sound problem American Idol biggest star Carrie Underwood but save the night by just joking around. Carrie is looking gorgeous, we're not loving her outfit but those legs are meant to be admired so flaunt 'em girl. Definitely one of the most flirty and fun performances of the night.
9:30pm: A sudden lightfest takes up the screen with her rah rah rahs from 'Bad Romance,' Lady Gaga works her heels in a rather tame performance until she breaks glass to sit at the piano, flanked by flames. Typical Gaga antics.
9:41pm: Drake, Kid Cudi and Jeremiah present the lovely Mary J. Blige who performs 'I Am'. We love her white mic, freakin' girl can definitely carry a tune.
9:46pm: Gloriana wins the T-Mobile text award. A rather cute country band. Don't you guys think?
9:48pm: JENNIFER LOPEZ makes one of the best entrances of the night by channeling her inner fighter, dancing and twirling in a boxing ring. We were not feeling this song but anytime Jenny dances it's cool in our book. Plus she managed to squeeze a wardrobe change in her performance... but did she fall? We think we saw her landing on her butt!
9:58pm: Samuel L. Jackson honors Whitney Houston with the International Artist of the Year award. We're very pumped for her performance, it's always just so dreamy we get goosebumps. She accepted her award with such grace! Love it.
10:11pm: Ok who else knew that Taylor Swift was taking this home? Chica has had a great year in 2009. Do you guys think Taylor deserves all the hype she's getting?
10:13pm: Michael Jackson wins the best Pop/Rock artist award, we saw this one coming too but it is hands down well-deserved. We loved that Jermaine is bringing back Michael's message 'Let's love each other'. Beautiful, true words.
10:15pm: Alicia Keys flies into the stage and balances a very heavy chained jacket on skinny heels. Sing it, sister..'I'm gonna find a way to make it without you.'
10:25pm: We're hoping Eminem can heat things up with his buddy 50 Cent singing 'Crack a Bottle'. Not bad, that was a bt exciting. Neeeext.
10:30pm: TImbaland keeps the party going with the gorgeous Nelly Furtado. Not bad to wake us up a bit. Oh snap, they sampled 'Thriller' that was hot.
10:39pm: A much needed those of 'rock' comes to us via Green Day, we beg to differ with actor Dominic Monaghan, about these guys not losing their edge. The old Billie Amstrong would be strumming to an acoustic guitar a lá Daughtry. Oh well, we guess this is what growing old does to certain rock bands.
10:45pm: Wooooohooo, Jay-Z takes the award for Hip-Hop/Rap. He thanked the 'imcomparable' Alicia Keys for her support in 'Empire State of Mind', no mention of Beyonce though!
10:51pm: Artist of the Year goes to TAYLOR SWIFT. Who recognizes that being nominated in a category with the King of Pop is just insane. We love how appropiate Taylor is.
10:53pm: Finally the 'outrageous' performance by Adam Lambert who gives all the divas in attendance a run for their money with that insane scream at the end, nevertheless he still didn't take it to the next level. We wanted confetti, we wanted more from 'Glambert'!
